title: Brief report on the status of Kozlov's pika, Ochotona koslowi (Büchner), in the east Kunlun mountains of China.
abstract: Koslov's pika, Ochotona koslowi (Büchner), was surveyed in western China. This endangered species is poorly known. We determined that it is a burrowing pika, and lives in social family groups at high densities. It primarily occupies high-elevation cold grassland vegetation. It appears to have a high reproductive rate. More emphasis should be placed on research into this unique species in China.
